In this "sequel" we will see how Dalmatia, from the scattered cities and islands, has become what we consider Dalmatia today.
I will also explain where the historical pretensions of the Italians to Dalmatia came from.
Let's go in order.

Everything we do and don't know about Dalmatia in the period of 2 centuries after the arrival of the Slavs, ie the end of organized Roman rule and written news about the events in it can be underlined and summarized by the provisions of the Peace treaty in Aachen, signed in 812. 
On April 13, 1221 pope Honorius III wrote to citizens of #Split inviting them to fight against pirates of #Omiš and that he sends them his legate Akoncius as suport in organisation of fight vs. pirates and heretics.

#Omiš then was managad by count Malduk and bis brothers, members of noble family #Kačić, one of 12 legendary Croatian noble families.
Citizens of Omiš had centuries long tradition of piracy and in those times it was not only local problem.

Before that they plundered some Crusaders carrying supplies for Middle East and that caused fierce reaction from all sides.
Border of #Omiš county towards #Split and #Klis county was river #Žrnovnica then (m.d. city of Stobreč).

On April 12, 1304 we have recorded presence of Mathew (emissary of Serbian king Stephen Uroš II Milutin) in #Dubrovnik passing by on a meeting with ban of #Croatia and #Bosnia and master of #Hum Paul I of family #Šubić for the interests of his realm ("na rabotu kraljevstva mi").
Earlier that same month king Milutin wrote to Dubrovnik asking them to prepare a vessel for his emissary and to transport him to the city of #Skradin, where the seat of ban Paul was.
⬇️

So, we know for a fact that there was a meeting between Croatian ban Paul and emissary of Serbian king Milutin at that time.
Unfortunately, sources don't discover us their true reason and subject.

Porijeklo imena Dalmacije.
Ime Dalmacija je rimsko i datira iz prvog stoljeća poslije Krista.
Međutim, korijen toga naziva još je stariji, ne znamo ni sami koliko datira u prošlost...

Prve vijesti u pisanom tragu o našim krajevima ostavili su nam stari Grci.
Oni su još u 4. stoljeću prije Krista uplovili u Jadran i osnovali nekoliko svojih kolonija, na otocima i obali.
Time zapravo započinje povijest ovih krajeva. ⬇️
